Asih Gusti pikeun jalma
Di Perjangjian Old, Kami henteu ngan ukur ningali cinta Gusti pikeun lalaki tapi ogé hate na ngalawan dosa. Éta jalma, who were stubborn and rebellious and left God’s way to go their own way.
Because of the rebellious behavior of the people towards God and their stubbornness, they got themselves into trouble over and over again.
Instead of listening to God and being led by the words of God, they listened to the devil, who reigned in their flesh.
Since they were carnal and sense ruled and led by their lusts and desires, they automatically did the kahayang Iblis and did those things, which were against God’s will, whereby they brought mischief upon themselves.
But every time they got into trouble and they cried out to God in their distress, God showed His mercy and goodness and redeemed His people over and over again (Baca ogé: Gusti anu ketat atanapi jalma anu barontak?).
The warnings of God
God constantly warned His people, whom He had set apart from the Gentiles. He warned them because He didn’t want anything bad to happen to His people. God loved His people and didn’t want them to bring a curse and disaster upon their lives.
Ku kituna, God made His will known to them, ku masihan aranjeunna hukum-Na. So that they would get to know their God and have a relationship with Him.
Ngaliwatan hukum, God revealed Himself to His carnal people. Because how else can you serve a God, if you don’t know anything about that God?
Gusti (sareng masih) transparent and didn’t keep anything back. Anjeunna ngadamel wasiat-Na, Sifatna, and His Kingdom known by the law.
God didn’t force anyone to nuturkeun Anjeunna and obey His law. His people could make their own decision to be obedient to God’s will and serve Him or not. But they would bear the consequences of their choices.
Since man was carnal and not spiritual, God gave the written laws, because they couldn’t receive His Spirit. Their flesh was affected by evil. The sinful nature reigned in their flesh. And due to the fact that God is a holy God, His Spirit could not live in a flesh that was unclean and has the rebellious hostile nature of the devil and carried sin and death.
The spirit of God’s people was dead. Therefore they could only get to know their God and His will through the words of God, nu ditulis dina hukum.
Berkah sareng kutukan
Ngaliwatan hukum, God not only revealed His will, Kingdom and His righteousness, which leads to( langgeng) hirup, but God also revealed sin, which leads to bondage and (langgeng) pupus. .
Sabab éta carnal jeung teu spiritual, God made known to them what would happen if they stayed obedient to God and keep His law and walk in righteousness and what would happen if they decided to become disobedient to God and do their own will and become trespassers of the law and walk in sin.
If they chose to obey God and keep His commandments and trust in Him they would be blessed.
But if they chose to do their own will and go their own way, then they would live under the curse (Baca ogé: Do the mountains of blessings and curses still exist in the New Covenant?).
Gusti nyarios bebeneran, because what He said and promised, we see in the lives of people.
Sapanjang Perjanjian Old, God warned His people through His written Word and the mouths of the prophets. Every time God called them kana tobat and to return to His commandments and His law.
God didn’t want to freighted or scare His people, like so many people, ngomong. But He warned them, because of His great love for people.
God is the Creator of heaven and earth and His laws are settled in the universe forever.
God knows everything, He knows the nature, will and the mission of the devil for humanity, because He created the devil. He knows that the devil is a liar, a thief and a destroyer and that everyone, who believes in him shall be deceived and eventually be destroyed.
God doesn’t want anyone to perish and therefore God warned people and still warns people for sin.
Naon dosa?
Naon dosa numutkeun Alkitab? Sin is disobedience to the God and His Word, which represent God and His Kingdom. Sin means disobedience to the words and the will of God and obedience to the words and the will of the devil, anu nyatakeun dina daging.
If you walk in sin, you walk in the will of the devil and exalt the devil by your works. By sinning you build his kingdom on earth.
God revealed sin through His law. Ku kituna, through the law sin was no longer hidden for people.
Teu aya anu, who can say that he, atanapi anjeunna, didn’t know. Because God has revealed everything through His Word.
But because of the spiritual blindness, ignorance, and a lack of knowledge of God’s Word, many Christians lead a destructive life and are on their way to hell.
If a person decides to not believe God and not obey Him, the person shall automatically do the will of the devil. Since the devil is the father of fallen man ((Baca ogé: the will of God versus the will of the devil).
Many Christians confess they believe and Asih Gusti, but their lives and works don’t confirm the words they confess. Because they don’t submit themselves to Jesus; Firman jeung ulah ngalakukeun naon Anjeunna nyebutkeun. They don’t do the will of God and are not taught, corrected and led by the Word and the Holy Spirit.
Instead they feed themselves with the knowledge and wisdom of the world. They live according to what the world says, and what their carnal mind and intellect, which is formed by the world, nyebutkeun, and they walk after the lusts and desires of their flesh. And so they live their own lives, ngalakukeun naon anu aranjeunna hoyong laksanakeun.
They remain carnal and live like the world, just like all those people, anu kagungan dunya sareng pangawasa dunya, sétan.
They love the world and the works of the flesh and are not willing to change. They don’t want to put off the works of the flesh, but they want to stay the way they are. Éta alesanana, they become irritated, angry and hostile, or even walk away, when you talk about sin or confront them with their sinful behavior.
Put off the works of the old man
To give an example, let’s have a look at lying. God is the Truth and He doesn’t lie. Therefore His words are reliable and trustworthy (Exodus 34:6, Dekeriim 32:4, Jeremize 10:10).
God doesn’t want you to lie, because in His Kingdom there is no lie. That’s why God has given the commandment to not lie. God gave this commandment to His people, who lived in the Old Covenant and belonged to the generation of fallen man, who was a prisoner of the sinful flesh. Therefore God said, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” Since the flesh wants to lie by nature.
parentah ieu masih lumaku dina Covenant Anyar. Sanajan kitu, people don’t belong to the generation of the old creation anymore, but belong to the generation of the new creation through regeneration in Christ. The flesh with its sinful nature has died in Christ and the spirit has been raised from the dead in Christ.
The new creation is born of God and has the nature of God and shall speak the truth.
The sons and daughters of God shall not lie but shall just like their Father speak the truth.
Tingali Yesus. Jesus always spoke the truth and didn’t lie. His words were often confronting and hard to hear, but Jesus never lied. Jesus didn’t compromise with the world to be liked and accepted by the people and to win people. Jezus didn’t speak what the people wanted to hear, but Jesus stayed faithful to His Father and spoke the words of His Father.
Jesus kept speaking the truth, Sanaos akibat. Because by speaking the truth of God, Jesus was hated by the world and persecuted, delivered and eventually killed.
The devil is a liar and in him is no truth. He is the father of lies and therefore his words are not reliable but are lies.
Pikeun anu, who put their trust in him and follow him, his lies will be their refuge and under his falsehood will they hide (Baca ogé: Nyumput dina pangungsian bohong).
You are of your father the devil, jeung kahayang bapa anjeun bakal ngalakukeun. Anjeunna murderer ti mimiti, jeung abode teu dina bebeneran, sabab teu aya bebeneran dina anjeunna. Nalika anjeunna nyarios bohong, manéhna nyarita sorangan: sabab anjeunna tukang bohong, jeung bapana eta (John 8:44)
Tapi dilahirkeun deui urang Kristen are sons of God (Ieu manglaku pikeun lalaki sareng bikang) and have the Holy Spirit of God abiding in them. Kusabab kanyataan, that the Holy Spirit is living inside of them, kersa Gusti; His commandments are written upon their new hearts.
They shall tobat of the sin of lying and shall not lie anymore, tapi bakal nyarita bebeneran. because their new nature wants to speak the truth.
They shall also speak the truth regarding the gospel of Jesus Christ, and shall not waver for the world and turn the Word and the gospel of Jesus Christ into a lie. Believers shall not compromise with the world but shall stand upon the truth of God and His Word, despite the hatred and Kasarah ku dunya.
When someone claims to be dilahirkeun deui, but doesn’t remove the lie, but keeps speaking lies and little white lie or changing the words of God into lies and adjust to the will, lusts and desires of carnal man, then the person doesn’t walk as the kreasi anyar sanggeus kersa Alloh, but still lives as the ciptaan heubeul, who has the nature of the devil and does the will of the devil.
Unggal jalma, who lies, walks after the flesh in sin and does the will of the devil. Take for example Ananias and Sapphira, who died because of their lie.
Bohong teu salah, Ningali anjeun parantos ngantunkeun lalaki anu sepuh sareng kalakuanana; Sarta geus ditunda lalaki anyar, nu renewed pangaweruh sanggeus gambar manéhna nu nyiptakeun manéhna (Kolosa 3:9-10)
Many say they believe, but only few can prove it
Sabab pikiran carnal nyaeta enmity ngalawan Allah: sabab teu tunduk kana hukum Allah, saleresna teu tiasa. Jadi mangka maranéhanana anu aya dina daging teu bisa nyenangkeun Allah (Urang Romawi 8:7-8)
Many say they believe in God and loves Jesus, but only few can prove it. The lalaki yaman lawas, who is led by his senses and walks after the flesh, shall never be able to please God. Because the old man has a carnal mind and shall not submit himself to God’s Word.
The old man belongs to the world. Tapi Firman nyebutkeun, that friendship with the world is enmity with God (James 4:4).
The old man is rebellious and stubborn and walks in disobedient to God and His Word and obeys the words of the world; the words of the devil.
The old creation lives in a covenant with death
As long as a person walks in sin; in disobedience to God and obedience to the devil, a person proves by his or her deeds, that the person is a jelema nu dosa; putra Iblis. Jalma, who perseveres in sin is bound by death.
The person has a covenant with death and sin reigns as king in his/her life (Baca ogé: Let no sin reign as king in your life!)
Although the person might think to be delivered from sin in Jesus Christ and be saved, but the reality is that as long as the person keeps sinning, the person is not delivered from sin. Anak, who is delivered from sin is truly delivered from sin and shall no longer persevere in sin and live in disobedience to God.
Sin means doing the kahayang Iblis, who is the adversary of God. Therefore everyone, who habitually keeps living in sin is an adversary of God.
Although Jesus has dealt with sin and has given everyone the ability to be redeemed from the power of sin and death, which is the punishment for sin, sin still exists.
It is a lie from the devil to say, that in the New Covenant there is no sin, because Jesus has dealt once and for all with sin, and therefore it doesn’t matter how you live and what you do.
Tapi kanyataanana, that it does matter how you live and what you do (Baca ogé: Naha anjeun henteu maot upami anjeun tetep dosa?).
Sanggeus éta panyaliban and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Peter, Poul, John, James, and the other apostles still wrote about sin. They warned the churches about the danger of sin, bondage of sin, consequences constantly wrote about the danger of sin, bondage of sin, consequences of sin, and commanded them to remove the sins from their lives and from their midst and repent.
Paul even commanded the church at Corinth to remove a person, who didn’t want to listen and persevered in sin, ti garéja (Baca ogé: Naon hartina nganteurkeun hiji jalma ka Iblis?).
If sin would not matter or would not exist, then why did the apostles urged the believers, who sinned to remove the sins from their lives?
If sin would not matter and would no longer exist, then why did Ananias and Sapphira die?
And if sin wouldn’t matter and wouldn’t exist after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, then why did Jesus confront the seven churches with their sins and called them to repentance?
'Janten uyah bumi’
